This past weekend marked the six-month point since the last sighting of Madison Scott.

This week, authorities released a re-enactment video to draw attention and jog memories about the missing 20-year-old Vanderhoof girl.

She disappeared during a weekend campsite party at Hogsback Lake on May 28.

"This investigation remains a priority for North District Major Crime," said Cpl. Dan Moskaluk spokesperson for the RCMP.

"We believe that there is information out there and it is our hope that the re-enactment video could be the tool needed to help us determine what happened. The police need information and Maddy's family need answers".

In September the Scott family increased their private reward to up to $25,000. Brent and Kali Marshall and the Northland Auto Group have matched the value and the reward now sits at up to $50,000.

At its peak, more than 150 Search and Rescue personnel and volunteers from Vanderhoof and neighbouring communities conducted air, land and water searches of the area.

Despite their efforts, Madison and items like her new iPhone 4 and her large bundle of keys, remain missing.

"Numerous efforts have been made to keep this investigation and the need for information in the public domain and video is a powerful resource in this age of social media and connectivity," said Moskaluk.

The video includes interviews with Maddy's parents, Dawn and Eldon Scott, and takes viewers back to the spot where she was last seen.

"We believe that someone out there has information concerning Maddy," said Dawn in the video. "And we need them to come forward."

"And soon - like, now - would be a good time," said Eldon.

Investigators continue to follow up on the more than 950 tasks generated by this file, including various interviews. Moskaluk told The Citizen he hopes the video will be circulated and seen in the media and social websites like the B.C. RCMP Facebook page to generate even more information.

Anyone with information to contact the Vanderhoof RCMP immediately at (250) 567-2222 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
